Study of the profile of high-risk drivers. Study performed by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation TIRF of Canada, and sponsered by Transport Canada, Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation.

This report examines the characteristics of drivers who engage in high-risk driving behaviours. Its primary objective is to provide a review of the literature on the characteristics of drivers who engage in high-risk driving behaviours. The purpose of this review is three-fold: To identify and summarize the characteristics of high-risk drivers-i.e., those who persistently engage in speeding, driving after drinking, non-use of seat belts, and/or running red lights; To determine the extent to which high-risk drivers are more likely to become involved in fatal and personal injury collisions; and to determine the extent to which the various risky driving behaviours are interrelated.
